In My Mailbox #52 (my first vlog!)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where you can talk about the books you bought or received this week.

This week, I finally did it! I got in front of the camera and made a vlog! I think it turned out pretty well, except for my incapability of staying in the middle of the picture, and my excessive use of "umm" and "so, yeah." Editing this video took forever, so I'm not sure whether I'll be able to devote that much time to an IMM vlog every week, but I'll try, since making the vlog turned out to be kind of fun, after I got over the nerves and the weird feeling I was talking to myself. So, take it away, vlog-me!

YAY!! Congrats on your first vlog, and don't worry EVERYONE says "um" 50 billion times in their first one, I know I did! :D They do get easier though, and they are a lot of fun! Awesome books this week too, I hope you enjoy each and every one!

Thanks for dropping by my IMM and yay for first vlogs! With mine I kept having trouble getting the whole book into the picture, LOL. Not That Kind of Girl is really good, don't let that cover deceive you! It doesn't capture the spirit of the story very well, unfortunately. Hope you enjoy your books! :)

Yeah, I had trouble with that at first, too. Before I filmed the vlog, I just took random videos of me holding up books to see where I had to hold them in order for them to be in the picture, and that helped. Okay, good - hope I'll like it too :)

Totally freaking out!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!! I'm so happy. This is awesome. Keep doing the vlogs! Not That Kind Of Girl keep me up all night! It was sooooo goood. Ari recommended it to me and I was hooked! I hope you at least like it or reaaally hate it so I can read that review hahaha. Your English is so much better than mine! Mine is more like Spanglish! This rocks!!! Can you tell I'm excited? Lol!

I can definitely tell you're excited :D I will keep doing vlogs, but I don't know whether I'll do one every week, maybe always one for two weeks, since a vlog for like two books seems kind of pointless. I started Not That Kind of Girl and I'm really liking it so far! Thanks :)
